Interim Leadership

Turn a point of transition into a period of transformation

The departure of a CFO can usher in equal parts opportunity and anxiety. While you may relish the chance to change course, you know it’s unwise to leave your operational ship without a captain for long. Engaging an interim CFO can help you tackle both. We’ll take the helm until the right replacement is found, giving you the breathing room to recruit a talented candidate whose mission aligns with your own. Along the way, we’ll overhaul inefficient processes and implement best practices to pave the way for a smooth transition.

We can help you…

Audit current practices and identify areas of improvement

Ensure bad habits from the past don’t make their way into the future

Buy the necessary time to research and recruit the best candidate

Seize the opportunity to start with a clean slate
